This week I met with Mohammed to help him study for his finals. Mohammed wanted help with writing. To help both him, and gain practice using a lesson plan, I used my writing lesson plan. For the beginning of the lesson I had Mohammed answer my prompt.  What is your favorite type of entertainment: movies, TV shows, books, or magazines? Why? Explain why you chose movies, TV shows, books, or magazines, give examples of your favorites and which ones you don’t like. I gave him an example and then let him write for 5 minutes. We went over what he wrote which was almost perfect! 

I then showed Mohammed the 10 questions I had made up about expressing opinions. Since the activity was for pairs, we just did it together. After answering all the questions we read our answers aloud to each other, stopping anytime there was an error in his writing. To help him correct the errors, I asked him if he though what he wrote was correct, and if he thought there was a better way to write it. This forced him to help himself. 

At the end of the session I asked him what he thought of the lesson. He gave me some feedback and thought it was good and level appropriate.
